5 Faves & a Dud: A Pipe Dream Come True

If you’re in the regular habit of working out, don’t stop for more than a week. Ever. The comeback is BAD. Given the post-vacation emotional ish that I went through a few weeks back and then fresh off the tails week+ business trip and then some last minute Memorial Day-ing to boot, doing Jerry in the 90-degree heat was just a BAD TIME. Like, I felt like i finished in 35 minutes, but it was really 29. I think last time I ‘slacked’ through that WOD my time was 27-something. Today I felt like I was trying.

First time in YEARS that I honestly wanted to give up mid-WOD. Fun times y’all, fun times.

Today was the most Mondayish Tuesday of Tuesdays that there ever was. I’m over it. But first, the lulu! I got so caught up working out of town last week that yes, I know, I never actually came back around to do the 5 Faves like I thought I’d have time to do. Fail.

Can’t be lame 2 weeks in a row, onward with this week’s picks! Check out the full lineup here. Agh, I’m back on a Mac after 11 days straight on a PC. COMMAND/CTRL Y U CONFUSE ME. I’ve got copying and pasting to do.

5 Faves & a Dud – 5/31/15 Upload

Angjrilwgjkrsnsndgk. I thought a pipe dream CRB would ever only be that, so I settled for porcelaine a few months ago. Ah, I’m in a little bit of IDGAF mode today. Grapefruit and Pink Lemonade are practically the same color and I own both of them, might as well snag this one up given that I’m confident I’ll wear it all the time.

Did this actually come out last week? A week before, even? I think it did. The iOS app showed it to me among all the other new stuff this week, so it is what it is. A fun tank.

My brain has been a discombobulated pile of spaghetti lately. Not discombobulated enough to lose the mental capacity to appropriately use the word discombobulated in a sentence, but discombobulated nonetheless.

On a bit of a Sculpt Tank kick after spending the week in hot hot Birmingham, AL. Air conditioning and fun display of an Energy Bra woooooo! How quickly my sentences go from 8th grade reading level to kindergarten.

Cue up another “wooooo!”. These are great in theory, but I fear that I won’t wear them often, given that I got the pink lemonade Speeds last summer and haven’t worn them yet. Between the fresco blue and pink lemonade Speeds that I got last year, I feel like a putz going through the store and loving kayak blue and neon pink SO MUCH MORE.

Such is life. Maybe it’s about time I consider selling some of my rarely used lulu so that I don’t have dupe guilt when something bolder and brighter comes along a year later.

I wonder if my trusty black perforated Baller Hat would feel bad if I added this into the rotation? I’ve got the jones for royal/deep blues today. On a scale of 1-10 of how much I’ve got the blues, I’m at level Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. (Let’s be real though, if you’re eating M&C from a box it better be Annie’s.)

Want to know what I’ve done so far in 2016? I’ve fallen down into the lululemon accessory/duffel/need something to carry my girlish amounts of miscellaneous crap pit. The Extra Mile Duffel has proven itself to be a kickass overnight bag. The Free Spirit Bag has proven itself to be both a concert win and a work win, for when I need to keep a phone, sharpies & paperwork on me without jamming my pockets full and weighing my shorts/pants down.

The Urbanite Backpack would be phenomenal for to/from the office, as opposed to my current work backpack, which has been subject to now-dried rock salt from a Boston puddle while working a Celtics game and many years of air travel carry-on abuse. Busted zippers. I won’t quit using my trusty OGIO for work any time soon, no matter how ‘well-loved’ it is. However, this is looking like a prime candidate for toting a laptop and lunch for the days I’m living the cubicle life.

Totally agree with this. I just read three blogs for the upload and haven’t gone to the Lulu site for it yet. I went earlier yesterday (upload day) and realized I had gone to the site so little the week before, I couldn’t even tell if the “what’s new” was last weeks or this weeks. Usually I have it memorized by the time it changes!

Meet AthletiKaty

If you've found yourself on this blog, chances are you love fit fashion and athleisure as much as I do!

My name is Katy, and when I'm not busy trying to talk myself out of new activewear I don’t need, I like to jet all over the country, run half marathons, do CrossFit, tinker with my GoPro and eat snacks.

Follow along for weekly posts that bring you the latest offerings in fashion you can get outside and play in, along with gear reviews, fitness, travel, and whatever else I find interesting that day.
